Thanks Carra

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] I wonder if Roy Evans knew exactly what he was unleashing when he sent Jamie Carragher on for his first team debut on January 8, 1997. Some 600 plus games - and legendary status amongst the Anfield faithful - later, ‘Carra’ today celebrated a well-deserved testimonial today ...

Napoleon Had That Idea

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] Liverpool Football Club are, in the opinion of many observers, a club in crisis. A footballing institution driven into financial ruin by two American owners, a giant of British football reduced to seventh place in the Premier League last season. However, in football as in other walks of ...

Tweet On Through The Wind …

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] So the Premier League is up and running again, giving 9 months of hopes, fears and palpitations to fans, not only across the land, but globally. I suppose I always knew that English football had international appeal, having seen how much it meant to so many in South ...

Apparently There’s Cricket Tomorrow

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] It was four short months ago that we heralded the start of another cricket season. Now with the exception of the Premier League run-in, the Champions' League Final, the Football League play-offs, and the small matter of the FIFA World Cup, I would love to say that ...

3 Red Balls, 2 Yanks and a Bank

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

[show_avatar email=tracey_lambert@hotmail.co.uk align=left] I really enjoyed watching the recent television premiere of “The Damned United”. Maybe it was a documentary shrouded as entertainment, but I am sure that may of you will have enjoyed it also. Essentially, the plot revolves and thickens around the fact that Brian Clough felt that he was ...

Haste and Caution, an Unlikely Recipe

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] It was a mere 3 short years ago that Liverpool supporters danced through the streets of Athens, despite defeat in the 2006/7 Champions League Final to AC Milan. Firstly, Scousers love a party! In addition, The Reds had reached their second European Cup Final in 3 years and ...

Calm Water

Monday, July 19th, 2010

[show_avatar email=tracey_lambert@hotmail.co.uk align=left] I must admit to being a little bored with all the speculation surrounding Liverpool at the moment. Every day there are new stories about who will go, and who will be their replacements. The truth is, no one knows what Roy Hodgson’s budget is. Amounts like £40 ...

Tears Out of Africa

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] I met at least 100 honorary Ghanaians last night … some black, some white, one even Chinese! For one night only, unless you were born in a radius spanning the historical city of Montevideo, you were a Ghanaian! When 'The Black Stars' of Ghana met Uruguay in last ...

Amathamsanqa South Africa!!

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

[show_avatar email=Rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] I have lived and breathed sport probably before I could walk, probably a result of being born the son of a man who played for, in the opinion of many, the greatest cricketing side to walk the face of the earth. My dearest mother, as with most proud matriarchs, ...

A Question or Two for Martin Broughton

Monday, June 7th, 2010

[show_avatar email=pawlu_grech@yahoo.co.uk align=left] So this is the new Liverpool Way where the fans get to know what the club's chairman thinks about the future of a player through comments he made at a rival club's end of season do. In reality, there isn't really anything particularly revealing in Martin Broughton's reported ...
